“S” is for Seersucker #2

May 14, 2012

Sew: monogrammed seersucker pouches
Summer is knocking on the door and nothing says summer like seersucker.

Finally I made a pouch for myself:

And a smaller more simplified version for a new baby boy gift:

The lining matches the monogram and I’m loving the navy zipper with the green, a tiny bit more masculine for the male set:

Perfect for the beach bag, pool bag, cosmetics or travel:

Here’s how I made the pouches:

1. Supplies:
(for green ‘r’ version)
1 – blue seersucker @ 10″w x 14″l
1 – fusible interfacing @ 10″w x 14″l
2 – lining fabric (kelly green) @ 10″w x 7″l
1 – navy zipper @ 9″
‘r’ letter cut out
2. Fuse interfacing to wrong side of seersucker.
Pin letter in place:
3. Zig zag stitch around letter:
4. Place zipper face down on top end of seersucker then lining:
Stitch.
5. Repeat for other side:

6. Wrong sides together sew side seams together then miter the corners:

7. Clip excess from corners and turn right side out.
Press lining side seams open and raw edge up 1/2″, straight stitch lining closed:

8. Push lining down into pouch and press:
This medium size pouch finished size is 9″w x 6″h x 1.5″thick at base:

The mitered corners make a perfect base for the pouch to stand on it’s own and create space inside for goodies.
The larger size measures 12″l x 7″h x 2.25″thick at base:

You can bet I’ll be getting some good use out of my new monogrammed pouch this summer.

    I love these little pouches! I am wondering what you use for the letter cut outs. Do you cut them by hand, or are they die cut? I would love to make some for teacher gifts. Thanks! that crafty k at g mail dot com

    Jamie these are adorable! Sear Sucker isn't easy to work with sometimes!

    I would LOVE for you to stop over and link this up in our Crafty Saturday Showcase! It runs from Sat-Thur. Then we pick the top post to feature on Friday.

    Hope you have a great weekend!

    I love your little pouches. My son's monogram is JMC and so is mine if you remove my middle initial and insert my maiden. *WINK* Ha! Kidding, of course. I bet you can sew these in your sleep by now. I think I will make these for teachers gift so thank you for the tutorial. Thanks for dropping off your always pretty laundry! xo Jami
